World Postcard Day wrap-up
We’ve officially signed, sealed, and delivered World Postcard Day!
This year, over 20,000 geocachers attended Events around the world to celebrate their shared love of postcards and adventure. We looked through every Event Cache gallery and were awestruck by the creative postcards, log sheets, and group photos.
We’re still seeing attended logs and postcards arrive, but here are some standout moments so far.
The artist behind the postcard: an interview with JankaSzklanka
In 2024, we took inspiration from World Postcard Day and decided to create the World Postcard Day souvenir.
As geocachers attended Events far and wide in the week surrounding October 1, meeting their communities and making connections all around the world, we realized one thing: geocachers LOVE postcards.
This year, we partnered with artist and geocacher JankaSzklanka to create a special trackable postcard that encapsulates geocaching. You can find this design and the official Geocaching World Postcard Day postcard soon at Shop Geocaching.
Learn more about the artist and her inspiration for this design in an exclusive interview:
Fun ways to celebrate World Postcard Day
After a successful introduction of World Postcard Day to the geocaching community in 2024, we are excited to celebrate geocaching and postcard communities again this year.
To mark the date and earn this special souvenir, attend any geocaching Event from September 28 to October 4, 2025.
If you’d like to add some postcard-themed activities to your Event, we have some fun suggestions for inspiration.
